Spain: Animal torture declared as 'artistic discipline and cultural product"

2nd August 2011

Where would be bullfights be without the forced financial support by Spanish -and European- taxpayers? In the Hall of Shame, where it belongs.

Unfortunately a few Spanish politicians have a different outlook! In their fight for voters they want to celebrate the deaths of 40.000 bulls each year and protect the massacres also in future.

Will their strategy work?

After all, the number of Spanish people opposing bullfight and often bitterly defeating the horror is much higher than the group of those who find weird satisfaction from this sadistic spectacle.

Are we witnessing today the Departure For Yesterday in a member nation of the EU?
